I really wanted to buy this one for my dad for his upcoming birthday. He still buys the original vintage that I got him years ago but unfortunately I couldn't find this at discounters yet (also Notino looks like they're still updating their site) so I got Artisan Aqua instead. I'm cheap so I'd hate to pay retail especially since they become so HEAVILY discounted once they hit those sites. Great to see you back professor. Always a pleasure seeing once your reviews.

I think what sets Flores-Roux apart is his liberal use of herbal greens in his fragrances like sage, basil, pine, juniper, palmarosa, cypress and others. This tends to give his freshies a slightly more mature or old school feel, but I love that about Varvatos. It's a modern blast from the past and remains my second favourite designer house, despite its reputation for poor longevity.
@mauricesas7650

It's an original take on citrus. I love the scent and it's really hard to dislike it. Most Varvatos fragrances are good but they are all facing the same problem and that's the performance.

I always buy a fragrance I like I know a lot of women haven't smelled on a guy yet here in my town. Just know what men in my town typically like in this town it's so easy to buy something different and unique.

Hi Steven, I've been binge watching a lot of cologne videos and I feel quite overwhelmed. I find the top 10/list style videos the best in order to understand a lot of information quickly and I'm trying to get a budget cologne (ideally under $30) that is versatile for school, as well as the evening/date night scenarios. Right now, I'm leaning to Montblanc Invidiuel, Nautica Voyage, and Armaf Club de Nuit. They all seem to top lists and are popular but I can't decide between which one. Do you have a recommendation considering my priorities for a versatile and inoffensive (but commonly complimented) scent?

Hey redolessence. Huge fan of you and bfl you guys are my two favorite on KZitem. I live in Mississippi. A small town where fragrance isn't a big deal. There's this small perfume store and high end jewlery place and I went in there once and asked if he had aventus. He said he got it many years ago and never sold because no one wants to pay so much. Saw the batch and it ended up being a 2011 z01 batch. Now I can't afford that in my wildest dreams but just because I can't afford it doesn't mean I shouldn't help someone else who loves it to get it. So if you'd like since I know you love it so much I can buy it and send it to you and if you like it then send the money back to me or if you don't then send the bottle bqack and I'll return it to the guy within his 14 day Grace period. Anyways just let me know brother
